Who said THAT? May 12, 2008
Posted by Resident Egoist in : Philosophy and Objectivism , trackbackObjectivists and all rational individualists, this one’s to your benefit:
“It is philosophy that makes man understandable to man, explains human nobility, and shows man the proper road. The first defect appearing in any nation that is headed toward decline is in the philosophic spirit. After that deficiencies spread into the other sciences, arts, and associations.”
[...]
“Philosophy is the escape from the narrow sensations of animality into the wide arena of human feelings…In general, it is man’s becoming man and living the life of sacred rationality. Its aim is human perfection in reason, mind, soul, and way of life….It is the foremost cause of the production of knowledge, the creation of sciences, the invention of industries, and the initiation of the crafts.”
Go here and prepare to be shocked. You’ve been warned!
